The internationally bestselling author of The Happiness Advantage and Big Potential illuminates how harnessing our beliefs can influence our success in the real world.Each of us has a lens through which we see the world, one that has been crafted by every experience we’ve ever had and is made up of our conscious and unconscious beliefs. But even though this lens has remarkable predictive power on our outcomes in work and life, we are often unaware of how much it shapes our choices—and how much power we have to change it, and our lives, for the better.In The Power of Beliefs Shawn Achor draws from his groundbreaking work in fifty countries over twenty years to introduce a critical set of tools, the seven Core Power Beliefs: My Behavior Matters; I Matter; I Am Not Alone; This Work is Meaningful; I Have Things To Be Grateful for in the Present; I Have Something to Give; There Is Something Greater Than Me. The extent to which we embrace these beliefs is the strongest indicator of positive

The idea that the twenty-first century will be "Asian" in the same way the twentieth century was "American" is widely repeated but rarely scrutinized. In fact, this assumption is not only overly simplistic--it may actually fuel the very geopolitical rivalry that poses the greatest risk to Asia's stability and prosperity: the strategic competition between the United States and China.While Asia is undoubtedly becoming more influential in global affairs--mirroring earlier eras of European dominance and America's continued global reach--the notion of an "Asian Century" obscures more than it reveals. This paper examines the many economic, political, demographic, and security complexities hidden within the phrase and argues that no single continent can define the future. Instead, the century ahead will be shaped by a dynamic interplay of regional and global forces that defies easy characterization.

Can the Founders' ideals still inspire and unite the nation 250th years after the Declaration of Independence? Fox News Channel's Chief Political Anchor and #1 bestselling author Bret Baier makes the case for America, an inspiring defense of our history, values, and national character. The impossible dream of the United States of America began with a declaration. Years before the Revolution was won, long before the Constitution was created, we were a nation because of our decision to be free.Though the universal hunger for freedom that endures, these days our country often seems at cross purposes. Our very history is divisive. On one side, there are the unrelenting complaints about all the things we're getting wrong. Such critics seem intent on focusing on the darker chapters of our story.

It's as if any admission of frailty or failure is an unpatriotic act.In The Case for America Bret Baie

Based on the wildly popular four-part series on Andrew Huberman's podcast, this affirming book from world-renowned and celebrity-endorsed psychiatrist, Dr. Paul Conti, offers a paradigm-shifting approach to optimizing mental health -- offering readers a proven way towards a joyful life. More than one in five US adults are living with a mental illness. Since 2010, adults ages eighteen to twenty-five have experienced a 139 percent increase in anxiety. For all of the increasing and well-intended mental health resources at our immediate disposal, we could easily ask where we are going wrong. Yet, Dr. Paul Conti wants to know, "what's going right?" Backed by celebrities and esteemed colleagues such as Lady GaGa, Peter Attia, and Kim Kardashian, Dr. Conti poses that the best place to start addressing our mental health isn't in focusing on what's going wrong, but rather what's going right. And the key to embracing this new narrative is tapping into our often ignored and long over-looked gener

Make Believe is a book for adults about books for children, a rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives. Mac Barnett, the beloved, bestselling children's author and U.S. National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, urges us to think expansively about the potential of children's books-and the particular brilliance of young readers: What if children are a great audience for art? What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults? What if humans' ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood? Well, then we'd better do our best to make some good kids' books.Barnett has published more than 60 children's books, which have been translated into 30+ languages and have sold more than 5 million copies worldwide, winning many international prizes along the way. Make Believe is his incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children's literature not only as an art
